Custom parking sensors with OEM Display

Hello, is it possible to use w208 original display parking system display, and connect it to some aftermarket sensors/module? Or maybe its possible to fit aftermarket display in original space, so it looks clean? Any ideas? any photos? Thank you for any info

Becouse in my w208 i have all these displays but they don't work , becouse i think they are there only for looks. Even button in center doesn't light up
And when checking VIN those things shouldnt be there originaly

original display



aftermarket system

Making the original display work with an aftermarket system is a battle you're not likely to win.

Transferring the guts of the aftermarket display in the OEM housing is doable, but would require a bit of elbow grease.

The system is ON by default with every start. The button in the console disables it until you enable it again or shut the engine off.
The original front sensors activate below certain speed (10 mph?). Those in the back - only when reverse gear is engaged.

Wiring the rear system to the reverse lights is easy.
The front one you can wire to the switch so that it activates on press, but I imagine that to be quite frustrating for frequent use. I have no idea how you can make it work automatically below the mentioned speed limit.
